I'm about to accompany my trusty 5D Mark II with the the 5D Mark III ! But should I wait a bit for a new body announcement anytime soon or should I go ahead and purchase it .. I'm going for a long tour in July and I need a great cam like the 5D Mark III .. any advice would be a major help for me

canon rumors FORUM

I have both, I use my MK3 as a primary and my MK2 as my second for weddings and event photography. In low light the MK3 locks on really fast and even with ISO set at 3200, I see very little grain in the photos. I would say it depends on what you're using it for..... There is s learning curve with the MK3, it's different than the MK2, worth it in my opinion.

as a person who just had the same thoughts i say buy it. i brought a refurbished one from canons site and it came earlier this week. small learning curve because of all the new menus but its so worth it. the 5d2 is a straight back up camera now.

All I can advise you is on what I have. I am a Nikon fan who bought a 5D Mark III because my cousin worked at Canon and got me 40% off list price with family and friends discount. I have a Nikon film SLR and the 5D Mark III is my first DSLR.

All I can tell you is I have fallen in love with my Canon, and I am never ceased to be amazed at the quality of the photos it takes. The AF tracks ridiculously accurately and the noise performance is sensational.

If you have the budget to buy a 5D Mark III, I can assure you from my experience, you will not likely be disappointed. I find it hard to find any faults with it.
